Today, I am working on developing our pyrolysis proof of concept system via FreeCAD. Having first come from Fusion360, this has been great exercise in FreeCAD familiarization.

I currently have an approximate Vessel CAD body designed with parametric dimensions. I have also reconfigured the FreeCAD UI appearance/format, and have been reassigning shortkeys to resemble my Fusion360 workflow as much as possible. I have been encountering issues with my workflow that have been requiring more thought and a different approach to accomplish what I need to do. I have been trying to utilize macros where possible, but some things seem like they have to be adjusted via source-code.
